Just in time!
UPS delivered my new Snow Blower while it was snowing. I dragged the well-packed box to my garage. It took me a hour to assemble the unit, read the directions and mix the gas. Starting was easy, it took 3 cranks to start!
I am very pleased.

Blizzard of 2011, no problem
Not only did this little guy handle the 12 inches of snow on my driveway without a problem, it chipped away at the 4 foot drift on my sidewalk, again with no problem. With the four foot drift, I just had to angle it up and down to get it all, but it worked with no problem. All of my neighbors have there big two stage snow-throwers, but this Toro handled the snow just as well if not better than their's did. Love it.

Blower is great
This Toro replaced my 17 year old Snapper 5 hp blower. The Toro is a great machine and I received it in two business days. Great company.

Great Toro
They should call this the snow terror. Used it in 8 inches of snow. First time I ever used one before and it cleaned right down to the side walk.
Easy handling, took a few pulls to get it started but after that it was clear sailing. Did my walk and my neighbors on either side of me in about 45 minutes. I should have bought this 15 years ago. A+

Happy Ending
I bought a lawn mower from a big name manufacturer. I was so impressed, I bought one of their snow blowers. How could I go wrong? I spent some very good money on this blower. I had it for 10 years. It would clog in light snow. It would clog in heavy snow. It would clog in wet snow. The only snow it would not clog in was NO snow.
I would put on a show for my neighbors. I would take three steps and unclog my snow blower. Repeat this for 20 minutes then beat the heck out of that machine. I would kick it, swear at it, and curse the day that I thought it was a good idea to buy this machine. A snow blower that doesn't blow snow is something to give to the garbageman.
I went back to the manufacturer. They told me I should use silicone spray. Two years I tried that. My neighbors love the show. Come quick, He's beating up his snow blower again. Last year, I hoped and prayed that the machine would die. I drove around and saw people with Toro snow blowers going through everything. I told my wife that our next snow blower is going to be a Toro.
He is a loving God. My blower died. Thank you, Lord. I have no complaints in buying your machine. I bought a snow blower and it throws snows, what a concept. Thanks to you and to Toro. I still have a great lawn mower! My neighbors are not very happy, no more show.

Little Snow Blower That Could
I purchased the 210R Power Clear last year and used it half a dozen times. The Toro powers through 6 in of snow or less with ease.
It has a lot to offer as it is light so my wife can use when I am out of town. It is fairly easy to start though it often takes more than one pull, it is quite powerful for the size, and it clears down to the pavement.
The only issues that I have had are the blade wears more quickly than I had thought, and the end of the drive way may be to much to handle (due to plow) as this snow tends to be much more heavy, ic, and tall for this smaller snow blower.
Overall, a good not great compromise on price vs. performance.

Great Snow Blower
We had about 5 inches of snow yesterday. Heavy wet snow. The snow blower required very little assembly. Started right away. Easy to use and cleared snow with little effort. Toro is great and this is the second one I have had.
Your company was easy to deal with from order to delivery and now follow up. Thank you.

Waiting for more snow
Some years ago I purchased a Toro snow broom, much smaller than what I purchased from Snow Blowers Direct. It has become worn out and needed replacement.
In Virginia, where I live gets some heavy snow from time to time. To be ready I shopped around for a replacement, but I could not find anything like it available here.
So I browsed on the Internet and found your company that sells nearest to what I was looking for. I ordered it from your store.
Shipment was prompt and business dealings with your staff were sheer pleasure. We did get some heavy snow, about 14 inches in our area the week-end before my order arrived.
I did some manual shoveling with some help to clear my big driveway. That being the case I was not able to use it yet as the succeeding snowfalls were not that deep to warrant the use of my new snow blower.
I am sure it will efficiently operate when I need it. I will let you know how it functions then.

Nice
It took a lot of time to start first time, but it got going and it clears snow very well.

Trouble getting it started
I like the blower just fine when it starts. I have only needed it about 6 times so far this winter.
Three of those times, I had a lot of trouble getting it started (and that's with following the instructions perfectly). Any reasons why this may be happening?
I have measured the gas & oil accurately as well. I like the size. I had another Toro for about 17 years and loved it. It was the light weight one....about 35 lb or so.
SBD RESPONDS: A gas/oil mix can separate if left standing for days at a time. You may want to try rocking the unit back and forth to agitate the mixture before you try to start it.
If that doesn't help, please contact the folks at Toro Technical Support, toll free, at (888) 384-9939. They will have additional tips to make starting your unit easier.

The snow comes and the snow gets blown
I have owned Toro snow blowers since 1979 and believe me, the street I live on gets plenty of snow. Most years it has been manageable but there have been a few years it took everything the Toro had to get rid of the snow.
Therefore, it would only make sense if you have good luck with a product why change?
This year snow has been around 10 to 12 inches since November; we have finally seen grass but tonight back to snow. I hope this time it is under a foot, but no problem- Toro is on the job.
This model is no exception, it does a fantastic job down to the surface and plenty of power to spare.

Works Great for Medium-Size Driveway
This is my first snow blower. I use it to clear a drive way (holds 10 cars) and sidewalks. All the surfaces are paved or concrete.
The unit clears 4-5 inches of snow pack at an unbelievable rate. Prior to the purchase, it took me 2 hours to clear this area. The snow blower completes the job in 15 minutes.
I have not had an opportunity to try it on deeper snow. The best thing about this unit is that it clears all the way down in 1 pass. My neighbors have larger (2 stage) units that leave 0.5 inch of snow that must be pushed out with a shovel.
The nylon blades leave a clean path behind the unit. After using the unit for a few months, I am satisfied with the purchase and would buy again.

Best Snow Thrower I Have Owned.
This snow thrower is amazing.
I was a bit skeptical at first, but we got 9 inches the other night and this machine cut through it without bogging down.
It's easy to start. It started right up on the 2nd pull- and that was the first time I started it since it had been out of the box.
It easily threw the snow 25 feet. Without a doubt it's the best snow blower for the money.
You get what you pay for- my buddy got a 4 cycle Troy-bilt, and this thing could blow circles around it.
